The nominees for the 70th annual Golden Globe Awards were announced Thursday by Jessica Alba, Megan Fox and Ed Helms.

Steven Spielberg's epic on the 16th president, "Lincoln," stood out in the film categories with seven Golden Globe nominations, followed closely by Ben Affleck's "Argo" and Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained."

On the TV side, HBO's "Game Change" continues to shine this awards season, picking up a total of five nods. Showtime's thriller "Homeland" earned four, including two nods for its leads, Claire Danes and Damian Lewis.

Where are the nominations for 'The Walking Dead'? That is a great series with incredible acting. It is the most popular cable show for a reason – it deserves to win. The Golden Globes gets it wrong again.

I for one am sick of seeing Modern Family walk away with all the awards year after year. Yes, they're good, yes, even great, but they are NOT the best. Big Bang Theory has them beat hands down. Their shows are always refreshing, and you might actually learn something while having a good time. Jim Parsons, actually the whole cast are as good as it gets.
I know once again MF will win that doesn't make them the best. Let the public vote and see who takes home trophies.

I think it is sad that it is always the same TV shows – I think the writing on Psych is great and should acknowledged along with a couple of other shows from the USA, TNT & A&E network.
Also I think Ben Affleck should have been nominated in the best actor category for Argo!!

The Golden Globes are a JOKE. The Hollywood Foreign Press Assoc, who gives the awards, has only 90 members. So with 5 nominees in each category, that means a nominee could win with as few as only 19 votes. That’s right: you can get an award if only 19 people think you should. Compare that with the Academy Awards, where almost 6,000 members vote, and you can see which award might carry more weight. What business do foreign press correspondents have giving awards to U.S. movies anyway? Ridiculous…

Abraham Lincoln is one of the biggest war criminals to ever grace the face of the earth. He allowed and encourage his military to rape, pillage, burn, and terrorize civilians who had nothing to do with the war. Slave labor was allowed to persist in Delaware and West Virginia during the Civil War to give them more time to gradually phase it out without damaging their economies, giving the Union two more states. Lincoln said he did not believe blacks would ever be equal to whites. So we have a racist, murdering, lying, extorting President who is worshipped by liberals like some sort of demi-god. Yet he was just a total fraud. Even Britain knew this and sided with the South. That war had absolutely nothing to do with slavery. It had to do with the power of the federal government to overstep the limitations placed upon it by the 10th Amendment.

JJ, get off your right-winged cloud! You could say the same for Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush Sr., and George W. Bush as well. Republicans do the same 'worship' of Reagen and he is one of the worst presidents in recent history.

Lincoln is the greatest president in American history. His greatest acomplishment was passing the constiutional amendment that freed slaves and thus ended the Civil War. He was a visionary. If you dont' GET it, you need to study your history.

I'm having a hard time understanding how Django Unchained got nominated for best EVERYTHING, but Best Actor and Best Actress... surely Jamie Foxx and Kerry Washington had to be deliver performances as good as EVERYBODY else involved in the movie? Whtat is the rationale for this snub?

How idiotic is it to nominate a movie for anything two weeks before it is released. Why bother to show it to us at all – just make the movie, put it on the shelf, nominate it for some awards and give the awards out. Apparently, it does not matter whether the public has seen it or what we think at all.

Walking Dead? What is it? Everyone seems very upset about it not getting nomiated. Never seen it. As far as series go, I do have to say the Downton Abbey and Boardwalk Empire are excellent. Hatfields and McCoys was one of the best things on this year too.

I tried watching H&M. Way too slow and not really presented well. The Walking Dead is one of the best shows this season. The other two were just okay. I like Downton Abbey also, haven;t seen B.E. I got tired of the whole gangster thing. You should really check out the W.D.

Snubbed! TV:
"GLEE"-A new season with the original cast no longer around trying new ideas with new cast, but music is still awesome!
"The Walking Dead"-what is there to say? its The Walking Dead= Amazing Show/Cast/Writing
"ParentHood"-–Amazing cast/writers/ a look into the new American family
"Once Upon a Time"-Great cast/ writers, and who doesn't like a twist about our favorite fairy tale characters
"Dexter"–Enough said

Snubbed! Movies:
The Perks of Being a Wallflower-amazing young three actors, amazing coming of age story, dealing with harsh realities.
The Hunger Games-Jennifer Lawrence pretty much carried this movie on her back! without her this movie could have gone wrong.
Anna Karenina-- Keira Knightley is a great "period" piece actress she loves to play roles outside the 20th & 21st century periods and she does it well.
Perfect Pitch- Amazing cast/Writers. Anna Kendrick should have been nominated for her lead performance, it was a surprise smash hit of 2012.

I'm sure there are more, but theses are the ones that stuck out in my head the most.

Most original show on TV!?! Are you nuts? Yeah, never ever seen a zombie movie before. And that's all it is, as Kevin Smith puts it in that AMC promo,"A zombie movie that goes on and on." Just because the overdone genre has oozed into television, doesn't make it "original." Ugh.

Ahhh "Lincoln" another liberal attempt to revise history from the fact that Lincoln was a racist that wanted all black people to be shipped back to Africa, detained 10,000 opponents as political prisoners during the war and the fact that the true reason for the civil war was the Morrill Tarriff imposed by th industrial north on the south, also the destruction of the true America and the forming of its current iteration which consolidates power in the federal government which was never the intention of the founding fathers.

Yes, history as Fox News has dictated it to you. Congratulations, minion, you graduate from the School of Hate with a BS in American Revisionism History. Be sure to update your resume before heading down to the warehouse for your interview.

What about SONS OF ANARCHY. Hello better ratings then all these shows. I am done with these useless award shows. I guess 20 million people who watch SOA, Walking Dead, and Spartacus Vengeance must those Romney's 20 percent. We all just living for handouts

I can't believe both SoA and The Walking Dead weren't nominated. It's the same stupid crap. Usually the GG are more hip than the Emmys... I know the Emmys will never nominate them, but I thought the GG might.

I've been a fan of Dexter from the beginning and I'm still watching, but I think it has jumped the shark. Big-time. The bazillion subplots, the acting in recent seasons, nothing about it merits a nomination of any kind, much less a win. The last great acting performances were during the John Lithgow season. It's been pure downhill ever since. Just sayin'.

Patti... The show is still genius and Michael C Hall has been with a character that shows change throughout the seasons based on the situations that have happened previously. His acting his superb. Desmond Harrington, to me is the next strongest actor of the regulars. I think this past season he really shined.

The show itself has not gone 'downhill' but has reinvented itself because after Rita's death, they had to create a new world for Dexter. The show has become much more dark. In the first couple seasons it was humorous and a light feel to it. Now, it is so dark and twisted especially trying to figure out Dexter's changing feelings towards everything that is taking place.

I think next year would be a great time for the show to end. Too many people now know what Dexter is up to.

Yeah, Desmond Harrington is really good in his role but frankly his plotline is so weirdly written that it totally distracts from his performance. Still I can't wait to see what twist they have for Quinn in the finale..

I agree with everyone about Sons of Anarchy...definitely the best show on TV right now. When Opie died, I was truly heartbroken. Not many shows can generate that kind of emotion in their viewers and this one has done it numerous times.

Agreed 100% John Noble should have been nominated year after year for his role in Fringe. When you see shows like Smash, Nashville and the Newsroom nominated you wonder if the people nominating these show even watch any of it. Not that any of these shows are bad, just that John Noble deserves a nomination for his superb acting in Fringe.

You're absolutely right on as I was thinking the same thing. Why is Fringe and particularly the great John Noble not recognized here? Noble's portrayal of the enigmatic "Walter Bishop" is one, if not the most, intriguing, diverse and haunting characters on television in the last 30 years.

I agree with Kerry,m where is Charlie Hunnman nomination, damn these people, they must watch TV back when they used vacuum tubes. Jax Teller is one of the best characters on TV but these fools would not know acting if it hit them in the face

"maybe" that is "acting" to YOU, but please realize many, MANY people laugh at the horrible acting on that show, I being one of them. They are either "whispering" or screaming for no reason it's just so awful I could go on and on how bad it is.....hahaha!

If you think that Hayden Panettiere, Miss I like to date men my fathers age, can act better then Katy Sagal, in SOA then I have decided let the Fiscal Cliff come and take all my money away. This thing is a train wreck. Sons Of Anarchy is by far the mosy kick ass show on TV. One time be brave a nominate a show with some balls.

Gyp Rosetti (Bobby Cannavale) was gypped! his performance on 'Boardwalk Empire' this entire past season was a beautiful combination of terror & hubris. he should have garnered a nomination. damn & blast. : (

Why is'nt Carry washington nominated for Scandal. She is by far the best actress on boring eveing Television these day. And by the way "Scandal " is an excellent drama, one of the best right now. I tell you politics in Hollywood is something else. So sad!!!!

Isn't it a little too late to nominate TBBT? There better series right now. I also can't believe they're nominating Smash, Girls and Episodes before Go On or The New Normal. It seems that to be nominated you either have to be a complete flop in audience, or have had many seasons already (and then get the nomination for the one season you deserve the less)...
